Top 8 gets you First Team, 9th to 16th 2nd team, apparently, since 2011.

Additional details from Wikipedia: "Administered by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, the selection rules are that the top eight finishers in each individual event, as well as American competitors who finish outside the top eight in their event but are among the top eight of the American finishers in an event, earn All-America designation. Relays are judged strictly on a top-eight basis. The cutoff of eight places is the same for both indoor and outdoor competition. The student-athlete's team must be a member of the USTFCCCA.[15] Eligible students from all three NCAA divisions and the NAIA are chosen."
